The film, directed by Hong Kong filmmaker Mak Ho Pong and produced and written by Edmond Wong of "Ip Man" fame, the movie blends elements of romance, family, comedy and treasure-hunting adventure.

What begins as an ordinary stay soon turns into a hilarious hotel-wide treasure hunt filled with misunderstandings, unexpected encounters and delightful surprises.

The Hong Kong cast includes Owen Cheung, Benjamin Yuen, Ruco Chan, Mandy Wong, Kent Cheng, Emily Kwan, Ha Yu, Shirley Chan and Stefan Wong, while Malaysian artists Andy Teh and Miko Wong join the star-studded lineup.

Adding to the fun are the colourful characters brought to life by the ensemble cast. Ruco Chan takes on the role of a powerful underworld boss, while Benjamin Yuen plays a hotel manager and Owen Cheung portrays a young and promising talent. Mandy Wong stars as a housekeeping supervisor, while Shirley Chan takes on the role of a KOL. Malaysian actor Andy Teh plays a martial arts stuntman, while Miko Wong portrays a wealthy heiress. Meanwhile, Kent Cheng and Emily Kwan play a wealthy married couple, while Ha Yu takes on the role of a solitary elderly man. Each character brings their own story and personal troubles, all of which converge within the walls of the hotel.

The story follows four individuals who have reached a dead end in life, whose paths cross because of a mysterious treasure map. Despite having no connection to one another, the four form an unlikely "treasure-hunting team" and decide to join forces to sneak into the hotel in search of a legendary hidden treasure.

"Golden Blessings" is presented by Enotech Films and Mandarin Pictures Production, in association with Astro Shaw, Sil-Metropole Organisation, Shanghai Pictures and BaoZhijie Group. The film is distributed by GSC Movies and is set to bring an entertaining blend of laughter, heart and surprises to cinemas during the 2027 Chinese New Year celebrations.
